Breakfast and coffee was awesome. The jacuzzi tub was amazing. Definitely worth the price. We were in the sail away room. The wifi did not work while we were there however.

Parking was an absolute nightmare since they had just updated it. Even one of the workers there who helped us struggled with it. The code didn't work to get the QR code..so on and so on. We had to follow behind people to get in AND out. Front desk leaves at 8pm, so not much help there. Otherwise place is nice.

Nice place to walk/hike but it rained most of my time in Colorado.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

Too many drunk boaters on weekends and lots of rain all through summer ruined the beaches,

Taking in the view. We spent about 5 hours this April hiking Horsetooth Mountain Park with our dog, Loki, and I had the sunburn to prove it... Still count this as one of my top travel experiences so far. #hiking #zen
